HOMEMADE GRANOLA

The granola is prepared in the oven is a mixture of oats, nuts, spices and sweeteners (natural) the mixture is left in the oven until the oatmeal becomes crunchy. It is recommended that dried fruits (raisins, cranberries) are usually put at the end so that they do not dry out too much or burn.

A good homemade granola is a delicious variation to industrial breakfast cereals, which surely many consume. If we do it at home it will be healthier and to our liking. And we can graduate the content of sugars as we deem appropriate.

The granola has a very addictive crijidito, I consume the granola in the morning before in the university because that way it helps me recharge my batteries and also when I get those ganita of you eat something between meals. and we already see that making our granola at home is very simple and more healthy, since usually the granola of supermarkets contain a high amount of sweeteners and sometimes fruits that are not to our liking.
